Mistwalker's Party Wave: First Trailer, Feel

Yesterday we offered up the first screen from Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi's next project, an "action surfing" iOS title called Party Wave. Today, we have the first trailer, some static art and a better idea for the game's feel

"Party wave": A phrase you may have heard in the crystal blue ocean as several locals catch a wave. Jump into the water and join the surfers for an epic ride.

The objective of this game is to guide the surfers to catch a wave and avoid the obstacles. Touch the surfers to make them turn and jump so they won't wipe out.

Can you dodge the dolphins and sea turtles and continue surfing?

Can you get closer to the mermaids sisters for a surprise?

Come and join the Party Wave!

With that established, here's an image from the game:

From here, I advise heading over to the game's site. There you'll learn of the game's very chill vibe, in keeping with that of surfers and surf culture. From the music on the homepage to the whimsical art to the trailer, it would seem Mr. Sakaguchi is really embracing his passion for surfing and the surf mindset in Party Wave.

With that said, some of the gameplay looks to be challenging and even a bit hectic. We'll reserve judgment on that aspect of the title until we get our hands on it.

It also bears mentioning that the following picture of Mr. Sakaguchi will accompany every Party Wave post on Side Mission:
